The Hypothetical Institute

Your Hypothepod pals take a look at Waco. The infamous and tragic siege which was a flashpoint for militia and religious right around the USA. 

With all this violence fomenting in the US, we figured it was a good time cast our eyes over the infamous Ruby Ridge - the precursor to Waco, which featured a host of white separatists, aryans, religious fundamentalists, and some terrible decisions from law enforcment. 

This week we tackle something that is good for nothing more than defeating communist ideals and money laundering; Modern Art. It's full of poops, pees, and other gross bodily functions that have no business in a gallery. Show me some poor people harvesting wheat, or standing in front of barns, or show me nothing at all.

We've discussed whether or not Lincoln was black, but do we know if he was even killed? Well he was, but it was a conspiracy. And how about his killer, was he killed? Maybe, but it's also a conspiracy. Conspiracy on conspiracy over here. 

This week we are talking that weird town in Brazil where it's said that the nazis used to make a bunch of twins in. Bit bloody weird! And why would Kanye West say that Abraham Lincoln was black... Find out all this, and our hot takes on 90s alt rock and 90s alt-literary fiction... and so much more. 

This week we look at some big ol' rocks that no one really knows much about. We are talking about Stonehenge and the Georgia Guide stones. People really don't know much about them, which is pretty crazy when you think about it. Just some big bits of stone. Sitting there... doing not much. 

Can you get super high off oxidized adrenaline? We mean Hunter S Thompson high. Probably not... unless it's harvested from the blood of terrified kids (like all good drugs!). And what the hell is going on in the mattress industry? Way too much. 

This week the team take a look at Mummies throughout history. Take a big ol' sip of the red mummy goo and tune in. Plus we talk about zombies... what are they? Who are they and more importantly... where are they?

Azeria Chamberlain, Lindy Chamberlain, Meryl Streep, Uluru. You know what this is, and we learn some suprising things about the famous case. You will never believe who was in the outback at the time... listen and find out. 

This week we are going back 65 million years to take a look if there are any dinosaurs about. And then we look at Dragons which, unlike dinosaurs, acually existed. It's all there in the bible.
